Enhancement And
Unusual Activity Detection
Introduction
Due to the development of moving object detection and tracking algorithms for
surveillance applications, we can easily obtain the relevant contextual
information and further analyse the common patterns in order to detect
potential anomalies. Object detecting and tracking are important in any vision
based surveillance system. Object detection and tracking in night surveillance
is an important part of visual surveillance, since unusual events usually happen
at night.
Motivation
In the field of surveillance most of the work has been focused on day time
video surveillance. Very few approaches has been presented for night time
video surveillance.
Work has been done on night surveillance using thermal cameras. But they
are very costly which cant be feasible for all scenarios.
Since human vision is restricted to function well at night due to low
visibility as well as humans are prone to more errors so it is necessary to
design a system which is robust and can detect unusual activity
Scope
A good and efficient surveillance system is needed in many areas in Private
sectors, Military Areas, Industries, Home, etc.
Scope includes:
Challenges
Images captured at night for visual surveillance have low SNR, low
contrast.
Image captured at night has nearly no color information which leads to the
failure of traditional day time approaches.
At night there is a poor distinction between the object and the background,
that pose more challenges to moving object detection methods based on
analysis the difference between the successive frames.
Challenges (Continued)
Objectives
It should track the moving objects and provide trajectory information of the
object.
It should detect any unusual activity that happens within the scope of the
camera.

Algorithmic Details
Image Fusion
Choosing the maximum value of the coefficients of the night input image
and daytime reference background image for the high frequency band. For
the low frequency band, the coefficients of the images are weighted
according to the motion and illumination map.
Motion prediction and spatial nearest neighbor data association are used
to track objects and give feedback to the first stage
In the figure, I is the image frame, R is the interframe relation which describes the
similarity between two frames, T1 is the contrast threshold and T is the contrast change
threshold.
Algorithmic Details
Object tracking
The tracking algorithm used in this work is based on an objects position
and velocity. The data association is realized by Mahalanobis distance.
